Leaving Heathrow

Leaving Charlotte
Not covered on American Airlines: Charlotte is outside the UK and EU, and American Airlines is not a UK or EU airline.
Heathrow to Charlotte is 6,409 km, which fixes the figure: £520 each leaving Heathrow, but nothing coming back, because American Airlines is not a UK or EU airline. It is per person, so four of you is £2,080.
How American Airlines does on this route
American Airlines is the only airline we track on this route
Nobody else we hold data for flies Heathrow to Charlotte, so these are the route's numbers as well as American Airlines's. The comparison worth making is against the rest of its own network, below.
Against its own network it is 1.8 points worse than usual: American Airlines lands on time 74.2% of the time across all 15,379 of its UK flights a year, against 72.4% here.
In money terms: about 3 flights a month on this route land 3 hours or more late, which is about 1 flight in 60. Everyone on board one of those is owed at least £260 each, so a full aircraft is a five-figure bill for American Airlines.
